OG EVERGLADES & PINEAPPLE RUNTZ IBL

NuclearPyro RDWC! Since its summer, struggling with H2O temps bc inline pump produces heat, hence why I did not do a submerge pump. Ordered chiller but its been 6 days and just shipped. Putting submersible pump in reservoir outside tent for water chiller setup. Did not want to run from 1 pump in case of pump failure. Have 4 inch semi moon stones in all buckets while using ice bottles to lower H2O temp untill chiller arrives. If waterfall pump fails, I have a ball valve to shut off reservoir, and will be able to run with just the stones untill I replace reservoir. Due to size of RDWC, and 1.5in pvc, could not add more ball valves. PVC- 1.5 in, 3/4 in braided vinyl for hose pump, 250gph active aqua pump, 3 five gal buckets, using uniseals

NuclearPyro RDWC! Everglade OG ---14 days........overall status is good. Slight tocoing on leaves due to light stress, or high H2O temps at 77⁰F. Water chiller still not here, arrives in 3 days. Higher nutrient temps= less DO. Groth Rate = acceptable range, medium progression Pineapple Runtz--- 10 days......... overall status is fair. Started to droop once 1st roots appeared out of net pot. Now roots are developing, O2 roots branching off. New leaves are still appearing but at a declined rate. Coteylons are still green, has nutrients stored. Grothe rate = DECLINED.....Tocoing and withering are likely bc of high H2O temps. Still vibrant green and growing, just at a slower rate.

NuclearPyro OG Everglade (Day 24) --- 9 inches in height. getting strong smell. Developed root ball thats tangled already. Pineapple Runtz (Day 20) --- 6 inches in height. Getting there but might be slightly stunted. One of the 4in stone disc wasn't bubbling enough causing DO to decrease + the 9 days I waited for chiller to arrive smh. Plant barely made it in 75⁰F water... thought i was getting root rot but not!

NuclearPyro OG EVERGLADE--- Day 30 Topped at what I thought was 5th node, but possibly 7th node. Slight defoliation, cleaned up bottom stalk. Grows like a bush. Big fan leaves, good smell, root growth is significant. PINEAPPLE RUNTZ--- Day 24-ish Light defoliation, plant seems slightly stunted, however, it is about 5-7 days younger than OG EVERGLADE is. Root zone was possibly underdeveloped in beginning due to stress, but developmental growth of current root system has significantly increased. After feeding 410 ppm, 40 hrs later, down to 300 ppm, with plants about to sleep. Will increase ppm to 500 in 24-36 hrs, if under 200ppm after time specified. Will increase ppfd to 400. Plants drank about 1.25 gals in 40 hrs Sorry I havent been good at keeping track of day count and info on here. I write everything in my grow journal due to time restraints. Also, I treat growing like im in organic Chem class again 🙃 im a perfectionist and a science nerd/geek at ❤️ HAPPY GROWS 🌲🔥💨

NuclearPyro OG EVERGLADE---- Day 36 Overall status excellent. Defoliated again today, with slight LST. The lil pom poms are starting to be. Early flower so switching heavy to bloom on next feed. Will slightly flush system bc I have notice salt build up slightly. Need to drain and clean rdwc system. PINEAPPLE RUNTZ IBL--- Day 29 Plant looks like it is stunted slightly, not growing efficiently fast like OG EVERGLADE is. I truly belive that 1 bad air stone set it up for failure with the warm H2O. Also, this breed does not like temps over 75⁰F or it struggles with higher temps bc of the stunting. Temps reached 80⁰F ish bc we had a last min heat flux in the high 80s and my house is old and not insulated at all. Spider SE 300 on lvl 5 creates 82⁰F or higher temps inside tent with 3 oscillating fans. Had to put AC unit in to drop temp of lung room. Temps are 73⁰F or lower. Rh% is high at 70, my mars hydro inline fan that came with tent seems to struggle slightly. Probably clogged. Using a spider farmer inline fan to pump cold air into tent until T7 arrives. PINEAPPLE RUNTZ will "CLAW" and "TOCO" if temps over 76⁰F. Recover within 1 hr once temps drop below 74⁰F. Still very promising.

NuclearPyro OG EVERGLADE-- Day 42 Overall status: EXCELLENT! Finished flower stretch, pom poms are increasing in size. Time to pack on weight. PINEAPPLE RUNTZ-- Day 35 Overall status: EXCELLENT! Still in flower stretch, stems might not hold well with heavy buds. Finally caught up almost to OG in vertical height. Root system is finally established to expectations. RUNTZ are soooo finicky, any acute environmental change, they will toco, claw, and droop making you think toxicities and deficiencies. THEY DONT NOT LIKE ACUTE CHANGES IN OSMOTIC PRESSURE. ph must stay consistent with water levels and food. Dropped ppm down to 350-375, seems like the sweet spot. Hard to determine which one is eating more bc of stress early on, age difference, and with 1 being IBL (pheno has week peripheral stems, tight internodal spacing then stretches crazy aka FINNICKY AF!) Nutes have been decreasing by 70-75ppm w/in 24hrs the last 6 days. Drinking 1-1.5 gal H2O in 24-30 hrs. Check stats today, ph stable, plants consuming at a HIGH METABOLIC RATE. I rather feed 3 times a week then 1 BIG 750ppm forcing the food. Switch to heavy bloom nutes since last week. Will feed 3rd time in a week tonight. My threshold is 200ppm. Consuming 175ppm in 48-60 hrs with 1.5 gals H20. SORRY FOR THE BOOK I WROTE!! HAPPY GROWS🔥🌲💨?😆

NuclearPyro OG EVERGLADES--- Day 52 (currently) Overall status excellent! Buds smell dank and have tons of sugar on them. Pics are from day 47 though. Growing strong! PiPINWAPPLE RUNTZ--- DAY 45 Overall status excellent! A little larfy on bottom, might cut a branch or 2 that is struggling to make a decent bud. Plant grew past the grow light. Had to rig light to a point, I can not go any higher Saw some yellow areas on roots, but they are not slimey, stinky, or brown ( root rot). Might be a biofilm from thr Hygrozyme and Hydroguard and the fact that I never change the reservoir once. Changed reservoir, fed plants around 380ppm @5.9ph. Thriving well and already eating nutes after res change
